At any time, Lin Qiu can become an excellent commander, and even in such a disadvantaged situation, he can still come up with a sharp response plan.

The specifics of combat can be summed up as "watching and fighting" and "acting when the opportunity arises."

"This is where the Volunteers lost contact with each other during the two major conscriptions. Approaching a cliff, Ysera paused. Beneath the cliff is an abyss, which completely shatters the determination of the victims to try to find their missing family members. She has not given up on the search for her missing brother over the years, but the clues she has obtained are also related to this cliff.

The cliff was not formed in a day, it has existed here since the foundation of Riorea.

Before nightmares cover the night, the map designates the landmark as a danger zone, and eager residents warn outsiders not to stumble off cliffs. And that's where the oddity comes in - everyone in Leorea knows about this cliff, and it would be far-fetched to say that both waves of missing Minutemen have stumbled and fallen off the cliff.

"It's also possible that they were chased by something and jumped off the cliff in a desperate situation. Lin Qiu touched his chin and analyzed.

Compared to becoming a monster's belly food, jumping off a cliff still has a chance of life.

"If the legendary Dragon Cave really exists, it must be underneath it. Ysera reasoned.

Underneath this is the only place that the people of Riorea can't explore.

Suspicious.

Things are getting more and more suspicious.

If even a maid of the Adventurer's Guild can investigate the clues, why did Medea, as the Pope, say nothing about Brecht and the others. Even if you want the spade members to be cannon fodder, you have to let these people die on the blade. Lin Qiu poked his head down, and there was no bottom under the cliff.

"You're right, the Dragon Cave is indeed down there, and the reason mortals can't enter it is because of the presence of the Guardian. Phoenix said.

In order to prevent the uneasy and well-meaning from trampling on his grave, Leorea left behind a final ban on his deathbed, keeping all grave robbers, dragon-seeking powers, and treasure hunters out of the dragon's cave.

"There's no need to put a lot of emphasis on treasure hunters...... That's completely unrelated characters. Lin Qiu reminded Phoenix that if Ysera's younger brother really disappeared here, it was most likely because he was bewitched by those adventurers and involved in an irrelevant incident.

Although Lin Qiu felt that Isera's younger brother was down there nine times out of ten.

"Big Sister Phoenix, what the hell is a Guardian......" The most nervous person is Brecht, his last strong enemy was just an ordinary royal knight, only to be told that he is about to face the guardian of the Dragon Cave, Medea the Dream Mother, and some of the top leaders of the Chaos Cult at the same time.

He suddenly felt that everyone around him was a skull-level boss.

"Oh, it appeared. ”

Phoenix's words came from the bottom of the cliff with a heavy dragon groan.

The strong sense of oppression made Brecht and Ysera hold their breath, and Lin Qiu was ready to meet the enemy.

Then a black shadow not much bigger than the palm of the hand slowly rose from the bottom of the cliff, and it fluttered its dragon wings and flew in front of everyone, with two horns on the head of the young dragon, and round black eyes that swirled around among several people. Its two short fronts hold a gleaming badge.

"Oh——! this is my Inquisition Army insignia!" Lin Qiu said, pointing to the badge.

"Hahahaha, what are you doing, I thought it was some kind of amazing guy, it turned out to be just a ......" Brecht's expression froze before he finished his words - the two wings of the young dragon suddenly swelled, and its limbs grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in less than ten seconds it turned into a black dragon that covered the sky and the sun.

Brecht's face turned green.

"This ...... That, Brother Black Dragon, spare me, I'm just joking! I'm sorry, I'm getting carried away!"

Brecht spinelessly folded his hands on the ground and begged for the black dragon's forgiveness.

Lin Qiu rubbed his eyes, and the black young dragon happily spun around in front of them, looking very happy. He was convinced that Brecht had seen a hallucination.

Phoenix explains, "When Medea draws energy at the edge of the Dragon's Cave, her power and abilities are also transmitted through rituals to the guardians derived from the Dragon's Soul. By the way, what do you see?"

"Black Dragon Boss!"

"Hatchlings. ”

"Leprechauns. ”

The three of them gave very different answers at the same time.

Such an answer was clearly expected by Phoenix, and she coughed lightly and said, "While absorbing the power of Medea, it can transform into what you know it to be, and appear to you in that form." But it is undeniable that without you even knowing it, you have fallen into the power of Medea......!

Phoenix stretched out his right hand and gestured to the figure in front of him.

- "The old woman who sells scones at the entrance of the research institute!"

The hunched figure, crutche-crutched, struggled to straighten up, as if it would be blown down by a gust of wind at any moment.

"I think you're the one who gets blinded by the vision, right! You fall to the ground every day thinking about something weird!"

Lin Qiu's roar seemed to touch Phoenix's unbearable past, and she recalled with black lines on her head: "After slipping away from the airship that day, I flew here for a long time, and I was exhausted from avoiding high-level monsters, just when I was at my most hungry...... There will be no mistake, the guardian left behind by Leorea is definitely the kind old woman, who is the guardian of everyone with delicious scones and meticulous care as usual!"

"Who cares about you, why is my Inquisition insignia there?"

"Oh, that's the money for scones!"

"Whose scones sell for 10,000 gold coins, you are a black shop, right?" Lin Qiu spread out his palms and stretched out his hand to the black dragon who was tilting his head and staring at them: "Give my badge back!"

The young dragons understood his intentions and angrily retracted their forelimbs, making it clear that they refused to cooperate.

"Look, it's a whole bag of gold coins, give me back that thing, and this bag of gold coins will be yours. ”

As expected, the black young dragon looked at the bag full of gold coins, its eyes straightened, and it hurriedly flew towards Lin Qiu, stuffed the emblem in its hand to Lin Qiu, and plunged into the money bag.

Dragons usually like shiny things.

The corners of Lin Qiu's mouth rose slightly, what really excited him was not that the young dragon had exchanged the emblem for him, but that he seemed to have figured out the way of action of the so-called "nightmare".

In his subconscious, there was a notion that dragons liked gold coins, and according to what he had in mind, the young dragon did something similar.

It doesn't matter if the Guardian really exists, or in what form it appears.

"I've found a flaw in Medea's ability!" Lin Qiu said firmly.

"Oh?

Almost at the same time, a tall woman in a luxurious robe appeared behind everyone: "Little brother, have you really seen through my ability?"

The next moment, the ground under the feet of Lin Qiu and the others cracked, and everyone who was not expected suddenly fell to the bottom of the cliff.

Then, Medea turned her gaze to Phoenix, who was not moving.

"It's been a long time, Lord Phoenix. ”
